Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova

You want a friend, a friend that’s not perfect. A friend that sees the lighter side of life (perhaps weirder side) and takes your attention away from your own issues for a while. A friend who manages to make you see your issues differently. Perhaps making you realize that your issues aren’t that different at all (we ALL have issues)!

Those Little Lies...

Every relationship has them… The small, harmless lies we all tell: “I’m 5 minutes away.” “I didn’t eat your snacks.” “I haven’t watched the next episode.” “I’m not hungry”… then eats your food... Not serious lies — just part of everyday life. Sometimes relationships aren’t about perfection… they’re about laughing…

Feeling Like a Priority is Important

Sometimes what looks like a “problem” in a relationship… is actually a response. A response to feeling unseen. A response to feeling like you’re not a priority. A response to giving love and wondering if it’s being received. Most people aren’t asking for grand gestures. They’re asking for consistency. A…

Ever Struggled to Receive Love — or Been With Someone Who Did?

Not everyone struggles to give love… some people struggle to receive it. You can be consistent, kind, and genuine… and they still pull away. Sometimes it’s not about you. Sometimes it’s past experiences, fear, or not feeling worthy of love. Because when love feels unfamiliar… it can feel unsafe.

Intention or Attention?

Attention feels good… but intention feels safe. Someone can text you every day, compliment you, and spend time with you… but still have no real intention of building something. Attention is about the moment. Intention is about consistency, clarity, and direction. Don’t confuse being wanted with being chosen.

Intimacy Built in the Small Moments

Many couples think intimacy is something that only happens at night. But in strong relationships, intimacy is built all day long. It’s in the tone you use in the morning. The respect you show in conversations. The way you handle stress together. The little moments of connection throughout the day…

Those Annoying Little Habits...

Every relationship has them… Those tiny habits your partner has that drive you a little bit crazy. Leaving cupboard doors open. Squeezing the toothpaste from the middle. Stealing food after saying they weren’t hungry. Putting the empty carton back in the fridge. They’re called relationship pet peeves. Most of the…

Ugly Fights

Every couple argues. But sometimes arguments turn into ugly fights — shouting, interrupting, saying things we don’t mean. When emotions run high, people often stop listening and start defending themselves. And those moments can leave lasting damage if they happen too often. Healthy relationships don’t mean couples never disagree. They…

The Importance of Date Nights

Date nights aren’t just for the beginning of a relationship. They’re just as important — if not more important — in marriage. Between work, responsibilities, and busy schedules, couples can easily slip into routine and forget to prioritise time together. A date night doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive…

Respect Built or Lost in the Small Moments

Respect in a relationship isn’t only proven in big moments. It lives in the small daily choices. It’s speaking well about your partner when they’re not in the room. It’s protecting something they shared in a vulnerable moment. It’s backing them up when it would be easier not to. But…

The Importance of Laughter in Relationships

One of the most underrated strengths in a relationship is the ability to laugh together. Not just when everything is going perfectly… but when life gets messy. When plans fall apart. When something goes wrong. When one of you does something completely ridiculous. Laughter reminds you that neither of you…

Dating Habits That Should Stop

Some dating habits might feel normal… but that doesn’t mean they’re healthy. Ghosting instead of communicating. Playing it cool instead of being honest. Pretending you don’t care when you actually do. Modern dating has created a lot of unwritten rules — and some of them might be holding us back…

Signs That They Really Care

Attention feels good. Care feels safe. Not everyone who wants you… values you. Real care isn’t loud. It’s not performative. It’s not just good morning texts and grand gestures when it’s convenient. Here are some signs that someone really cares.

Altyd 'n Namibiese Vlag by die Schoonwinkel Tweeling

Ek ken die Schoonwinkel tweeling al baie jare en hulle is altyd besig om 'n fondsinsameling vir iemand te doen. Albei broers was jare lank by die Suid Afrikaanse polisie en almal wat hul ken het baie respek vir hulle. Dit was opmerklik dat hul altyd 'n Namibiese vlag by…

The Unspoken Rules of Dating

Modern dating has rules nobody agreed on but everyone feels pressured to follow. Wait to reply. Don’t look too interested. Act chill. What if honesty was the real flex? Clarity doesn’t scare the right person. It attracts them.

Things People Pretend Don’t Matter… But Do

We think love is built in big moments — but it’s actually built in tiny ones. The way they listen. The way they respond. The way they notice you. Small things don’t look powerful… until they repeat.

Attracting Same Type of Person

You’re not always meeting new people. Sometimes you’re meeting the same pattern in a different body. It’s not bad luck. It’s familiarity. Heal the pattern — and the people you’re drawn to start changing too.
